The  improvements  in  the  manufacture  of 
American  Jewelry  are  numerous  and  impor- 
tant, and  include  practical  adaptability  to 
use  as  well  as  higher  beauty.  The  influence 
of  Oriental  Art  is  seen  in  many  of  the  recent 
productions,  while  other  schools  of  design 
show  the  result  of  the  better  facilities  for 
studying  classic  art. 

The  novelties  of  London  and  Paris  are 
promptly  secured,  and  examples  of  work 
from  India,  Italy,  Japan,  China,  Russia, 
Spain,  and  other  countries  whose  products 
are  seldom  seen  here,  can  be  found  in  this 
extensive  stock. 

The  stock  of  moderate-priced  goods  is 
unusually  large,  and  represents  the  best  work 
of  the  principal  manufacturers  of  the  United 
States. 

The  Jewelry  of  Messrs.  TIFFANY  &  Co.'s 
own  design  and  manufacture  is  never  sold 
to  dealers,  and  hence  possesses  a  desirable 
exclusiveness,  and  the  resources  of  the  house 


5 


are  unequaled  for  the  production  of  designs 
for  special  articles  embodying  individual 
ideas,  and  persons  desiring  to  express  an 
idea  symbolically  can  receive  the  assistance 
of  capable  designers.

SILVERWARE. 

HE  Silverware  of  Messrs.  TIF- 
FANY  &  Co.  has  acquired  an  inter- 
national reputation  for  practical 
excellence  as  well  as  for  rare  beauty 
of  design ;  and,  since  the  awarding  to  them  of 
the  Grand  Prize  at  Paris  in  1878,  the  Euro- 
pean trade  of  the  house  has  steadily  in- 
creased. 

This  ware  is  never  sold  to  dealers,  and  like 
the  other  manufactures  of  the  house  retains 
its  exclusive  character.  It  is  not  only  with 
large  or  elaborate  services  that  the  most 
scrupulous  care  is  taken,  but  every  article 
that  leaves  the  workshops  possesses  quali- 
ties not  to  be  found  in  ordinary  wares.  A 
list  of  articles  suitable  for  wedding  or  other 
presents  begins  on  page  98.

WATCHES. 

HE  Standard  Tiffany  Watches  are 
constructed  upon  the  latest  scien- 
tific   principles,  combining  sim- 
plicity, strength,  durability,  and 
time-keeping  qualities. 

The  simplicity  of  construction  renders 
them  less  liable  to  get  out  of  order  than 
more  complicated  watches,  and  reduces  the 
cost  to  the  minimum  at  which  watches  of 
the  same  grade  can  be  produced. 

Each  watch  is  adjusted  to  temperature 
and  position,  stamped  with  the  name  of  the 
house,  and  fully  guaranteed. 

Messrs.  TIFFANY  &  Co.  have  a  full 
line  of  Ladies'  Watches  in  plain  gold,  carved, 
enameled,  inlaid,  jeweled,  and  other  cases, 
and  complicated  watches  as  follows : 

Chronographs,  marking  fifth  of  a  second. 
Chronographs,  with  split  second.

and  minutes,  with  chron- 
ographs, and  same  with

minutes  past  the  hour  ; 
same  with  split  second 
hand. 

Calendar  and  Repeating  Watches,  with  split 

second  chronographs. 
The  calendar  shows  the 
month,  day  of  month, 
day  of  week,  and  phases 
of  the  moon  ;  the  re- 
peater strikes  the  hour, 
and  one  on  a  smaller  bell 


for  each  five  minutes 
past  the  hour,  and  the 
split  second  hand  ena- 
bles one  to  time  a  horse 
at  each  quarter  mile,  or 
accurately  record  any 
fraction  of  time  with- 
out stopping  the  main 
hand,  one  hand  stand- 
ing fast  at  the  touch  of  a 
spring,  the  other  con- 
tinuing on  its  course. 

Especial  attention  is 
invited  to  new  bridge 
movement  Stem  Wind- 
ing Watches  in  18  carat 
gold  hunting  cases  at 
$100  each,  and  in  open- 
faced  cases  with  heavy 
cut  crystals  for  $95. 

They  are  carefully  fin- 
ished in  every  particular, 
adjusted  to  heat  and  cold, 
and  are  confidently  guar- 
anteed as  the  best  value 
for  the  money  attained 
in  a  watch. 


DIAMONDS  AND  OTHER  PRECIOUS  , 
STONES,  AND  DIAMOND  AND  GEM 
JEWELRY. 

S  Diamond  Merchants  Messrs. 
TIFFANY  &  Co.  have  long  held 
the  leading  position  in  this  coun* 
try. 

Their  extensive  connections  abroad  ena- 
ble them  to  obtain  the  most  correct  knowl- 
edge of  changes,  in  the  various  markets,  and 
their  system  of  purchasing  for  cash  secures 
the  greatest  advantages  as  to  prices.  Their 
stock  is  the  largest  to  be  seen  in  any  one 
establishment,  and  comprises  carefully  se- 
lected Solitaire  and  Matched  Diamonds, 
Pearls,  Rubies,  Sapphires,  Cat's-eyes,  Emer-  1 
aids,  and  all  the  jewels  less  generally  known, 
including  stones  en  cabochon  (polished,  but 
not  cut  in  facets),  which  are  fashionable 
now. 


II 


The  greatest  care  is  exercised  in  the  set- 
ting of  their  gems,  and  the  designers  and 
modelers  engaged  in  connection  with  the 
jewelry  workshops  are  qualified  to  produce 
novel  designs  for  special  objects. 

Especial  attention  is  given  to  the  ar- 
rangement of  Bridal  Jewels  ;  and  for  this 
purpose  a  large  collection  of  choice  un- 
mounted stones  is  kept  in  stock,  and  rare 
gems  are  secured,  whenever  found,  in  any 
part  of  the  world. 

As  all  the  diamond  setting  is  done  on 
their  own  premises,  under  the  supervision 
of  a  member  of  the  house,  absolute  secu- 
rity is  insured  for  jewels  intrusted  to  . them 
for  resetting. 

In  connection  with  this  department, 
Messrs.  TIFFANY  &  Co.  have  a  complete 
organization  for  cutting  and  polishing  Dia- 
monds and  other  precious  stones. 

They  are  constantly  cutting  stones  from 


12 


the  rough,  for  their  own  requirements,  and 
extend  their  facilities  to  the  public. 

Misshapen  stones,  or  those  that  have  been 
chipped  or  possess  other  blemishes,  can  be 
re-cut  with  mathematical  accuracy.

PLATED  WARE. 

ESSRS.  TIFFANY  &  Co.'s  Hard- 
metal  Plated  Ware  is  silver-sol- 
dered in  every  joint,  and  superior 
to  any  heretofore  made. 
It  is  more  economical  than  ordinary  plated 
ware,  and  is  practically  indestructible  by 
family,  hotel,  club,  or  restaurant  use. 

Messrs.  TIFFANY  &  Co.  were  the  first 
to  discard  entirely  the  use  of  soft  solder, 
and  no  weak  spot  or  defect  can  be  found  in 
any  piece  of  ware  made  by  them. 

The  articles  are  all  made  from  special  de- 
signs, having  a  distinctive  style,  and,  unlike 
ordinary  plated  ware,  it  possesses  all  the 
qualities  of  sterling  silverware,  except  in- 
trinsic value. 

Elaborate  services  chased  by  the  repouss^ 
process,  or  richly  engraved,  are  undistin- 
guishable  from  silver,  and  will  wear  for  a 


generation.  Attention  is  invited  to  new 
patterns  of  Forks  and  Spoons  that  surpass 
in  beauty  and  excellence  anything  hereto- 
fore made. 

A  list  of  articles,  with  prices,  is  begun  on 
page  80.

CLOCKS  AND  BRONZES. 

ESSRS.  TIFFANY  &  Co.  devote 
their  entire  second  floor  to  an 
unequaled  collection  of  artistic 
Bronzes,  Clocks,  Mantel  Sets, 
Vases,  Candelabra,  and  other  decorative 
metal  work. 

All  the  best  productions  of  art-workers  in 
metal  are  secured,  as  soon  as  published,  in 
any  part  of  the  world ;  and  besides  these 
gems  of  metal  sculpture  from  abroad,  they 
have  a  great  variety  of  decorative  articles  of 
polished  brass,  etc.,  which  are  made  in  their 
own  workshops.  This  department  has  more 
the  appearance  of  an  art  museum  than  a 
salesroom,  and  contains  valuable  examples 
of  Cloisonne,  Champleve,  Limoges,  and 
other  enamels,  repousse  copper  and  steel 
work,  fac-similes  of  historical  arms  and  ar- 


i6 


mor,  examples  of  Oriental  art,  embroideries, 
and  other  articles  of  vertu,  which  combine 
to  form  a  most  interesting  and  varied  collec- 
tion. A  considerable  list  of  these  articles  is 
begun  on  page  103.

POTTERY  AND  GLASS,

in  Europe,  and  many  of  the  best  works  from 
the  potteries  of  New  York,  Greenpoint,  Cin- 
cinnati, and  Tarrytown  may  be  examined. 

Among  the  recent  importations  are  some 
porcelain  pictures  of  great  beauty,  and  a 
variety  of  the  most  curious  developments  of 
the  glass-workers  of  Venice. 

Besides  these  finely  decorative  articles,  a 
large  collection  of  breakfast,  lunch,  dinner, 
dessert,  and  tea  sets  is  kept  in  stock. 

.Table  glassware  of  simple  and  inexpen- 
sive styles,  as  well  as  the  most  costly  cut 
or  engraved  glass,  forms  an  attractive  fea-

ture  of  this  department,  and  complete  sets, 
with  decanters  and  glasses  for  every  kind  of 
wine,  liquors,  ices,  etc. 

Services  or  single  pieces  can  be  engraved 
with  cipher,  crest,  or  other  designs  when 
required.

IFFANY  &  Co.  furnish  the  cor- 
rect styles  of  Wedding  and  other

ises, and  thus  secure  exclusiveness  in  style

Capable  artists  are  prepared  to  execute

A  new  series  of  day  cards,  for  short  notes, 
has  recently  been  designed,  the  corners 
having  illuminated  astronomical  emblems. 
Other  day  cards  simply  have  the  day  in 
plain  letters  printed  in  colors,  silver  or  gold. 
An  extensive  corps  of  designers  and  painters 
in  water  and  oil  colors  is  retained,  and  deco- 
rations on  silk  and  other  materials,  for  fans, 
screens,  sachets,  menus,  handkerchief  cases, 
marriage  certificates,  favors  for  the  "  Ger- 
man," dinner  and  birthday  cards,  and  other 
articles  are  designed  and  finished  to  suit 
individual  tastes  and  for  special  occasions. 


21 


FANCY  GOODS. 

NDER  this  general  head  are  in- 
cluded a  variety  of  articles  of  use 
and  ornament  so  great  as  to  be 
almost  innumerable. 
Silver,  gold,  leather,  wood,  ivory,  bronze, 
amber,  tortoise-shell,  and  other  materials  are 
employed  in  their  production. 

Personal  ornaments  for  ladies  and  gentle- 
men, convenient  articles  for  the  pocket,  toi- 
let, or  library,  and  articles  for  yachtsmen, 
tourists,  students,  and  others,  are  among  the 
many. 

In  addition  to  the  novelties  from  London, 
Paris,  Vienna,  and  other  European  cities, 
Messrs.  TIFFANY  &  Co.  make,  in  their 
several  workshops,  goods  for  this  depart- 
ment of  a  higher  class  than  any  of  foreign 
manufacture,  and  specially  suited  to  the  ex- 
pressed wants  of  their  customers. 


22 


A  special  department  has  been  organized 
for  Traveling  Bags  and  Toilet  Fittings,  and 
bags  can  be  arranged  to  suit  the  exact 
wants  of  any  lady  or  gentleman,  avoiding 
the  annoyance  of  a  number  of  useless  arti- 
cles, and  the  absence  of  some  needed  ones. 

The  toilet  articles  can  be  purchased  sep- 
arately, and  furnished  or  unfurnished  bags 
of  Alligator  or  Seal-skin,  Russia  or  Mo- 
rocco leathers  are  kept  in  stock  in  great

who  is  growing.  Etrus-

or  set  with  turquois, 
$7.50  to  §16.50.  These

Bracelets  set  with 
pearls,  turquois,  enamel-

the  precious  stones,  are

variety  is  too  great  to 
admit  of  detailed  descrip- 
tion. 

Among  the  novelties 
are  some  bracelets  of  the 
new  "hammered  "  gold, 
of  a  rich  yellow  color, 
and  showing  over  the 
entire  surface  the  small 
indentations  of  a  ham-

diamonds  or  other  pre- 
cious stones  imbedded  in 
the  gold.  Bracelets  with 
combination  locks  open- 
ing to  letters,  $18  and

band  of  gold,  with  a  loop 
at  either  end  forming  a 
hasp,  which  is  secured 
by  a  gold  padlock  locked 
with  a  gold  key.  The 
bracelet  may  be  placed 
on  a  lady's  arm  by  a  gen- 
tleman, who  retains  the 
key,  perhaps  wearing  it 
as  a  charm  on  his  watch- 
chain.  These  are  of 
various  prices,  $10,  $11, 
$12.50,  $16,  $17,118.50, 
$20,  and  $24,  and  richer

placed,  either  on  the 
wrist,  at  the  top  of  a

glove,  or  oft  the  arm 
above  the  elbow.  They 
may  also  be  worn  as 
necklaces,  easily  uncoil- 
ing and  springing  to- 
gether only  sufficiently  to 
remain  in  place.  They 
are  elegantly  finished, 
and  have  diamond,  ruby, 
or  emerald  eyes.  Price, 
$70,  $100,  $130,  or 
$175,  according  to  the 
size  of  the  coil.  Some 
with  richly  jeweled  heads

Shopping  Bracelet,  with  pencil  attached,  gold  and 

silver,  some  richly  jewel- 
ed. Silver,  $12.  Gold,

A  very  popular  brace- 
let is  a  patent  "spring 
bracelet"  that  obviates 
the  necessity  for  clasps 
and  requires  no  guard 
chains,  as  it  cannot  slip 
from  the  arm.  They  are 
made    of  one  or  two 


PRESENTS  FOR  LADIES. 


27 


tubes  of  gold,  either 
plain  or  adorned  with 
Etruscan  tracery.  Some 
of  them  terminate  with 
Jleurs  de  lis,  lions  heads, 
or  other  devices  ;  and 
lace  pins  and  earrings 
are  made  to  match  many 
of  the  patterns.  The 
plain  gold  ones  range  in 
price  from  $9.50  to  $56, 
and  those  enriched  with 
jewels  from  $30  to 
$200. 

Another  novelty  is  the 
1 '  Hellene  "  bracelet,  a 
flexible  coil  that  has  the 
high  advantage  of  fitting 
itself  directly  to  the  con- 
formation of  the  arm. 
These  bracelets  are  made 
of  Etruscan  gold,  many 
being  elaborately  adorn- 
ed with  delicate  orna- 
mentation and  some 
richly  jeweled.  The 
prices  of  those  without 
jewels  range  from  $15 


23

to  $50,  and  the  jewel- 
ed ones  from  $50  to 
$250. 

A  third  novelty  that 
will  be  popular,  is  a 
flexible  bracelet  of  wov- 
en golden  wire  that  en- 
circles the  wrist  three, 
times  and  holds  itself  in 
place  like  the  serpent 
bracelet,  heretofore  de- 
scribed. The  termina- 
tions are  adorned  with 
balls,  either  ornamented 
with  tracery  or  jeweled, 
and  the  prices  of  the 
plain  ones  range  from 
$30  to  $65,  while  the 
jeweled  ones  begin  at 
$65  and  extend  as  high 
as  $250. 

Medallion  Bracelets.    A  single  thin  band  or  wire, 

with  a  device  in  the  cen- 
ter. These  are  novel,  of 
great  variety,  and  range

wards. The  most  costly 
jewels  are  frequently  set

in  this  way,  with  elegant 
effect. 

Brooches.    The  long  lace-pins  are  now  very  generally 

worn  in  place  of  brooches 
of  the  ordinary  form,  but 
stone  cameos,  intagli, 
painted  enamels  on  gold, 
amethysts,  pearls,  coral, 
and  Etruscan  gold  and 
enamels  incrusted  with 
diamonds  and  set  in 
Etruscan  gold  remain 
fashionable,  and  are  usu- 
ally worn  with  earrings  to 
match.  The  prices  cover 
a  wide  range,  depend- 
ing, of  course,  on  the 
size,  settings,  and  rich- 
ness. Cameo  sets  from 
$75  ;  enamels  from  $75; 
coral  from  $35  upwards. 
Etruscan  gold  sets  from 
$18  to  $150.  Some  of  the 
gold  sets  have  flowers, 
fruits,  or  other  designs 
in  relief  of  a  different 
colored  gold  from  the 
ground.

PRESENTS  FOR  LADIES. 


Earrings  are  smaller  than 


last  year.  Hoops  with  heads 
of  animals  at  the  termina- 
tions, not  unlike  those 
found  by  Gen.  Cesnola 
at  Cyprus,  will  be  much 
worn.  Another  novelty 
is  a  hoop  earring  of 
hammered  gold.  Plain 
balls  and  balls  adorned 
with  Etruscan  tracery  re- 
tain their  popularity. 

The  most  popular  gold 
earrings  are  colored  or 
Etruscan  gold,  of  which 
there  are  many  new  de- 
signs, ranging  in  price 
from  $8  to  $20  and  $25; 
richer  and  more  elaborate 
ones  from  $30  to  $75, 
and  smaller  earrings  for 
young  misses  from  $3.50. 

The  fac-similes  of  ear- 
rings found  in  the  trea- 
sure temple  at  Cyprus,

Museum  of  Art,  are  in-
